Pros

Great co-workers, whats left of them anyway. Good products

Cons

Upper management is absolutely clueless, like the blind leading the blind. We don't get the same benefits as our parent company Cablevision. Benefits are ok at most. No growth opportunities, internal application process is a joke.

Pros

The cache of writing for them. They're recognized as a quality publication and having them on your resume may help you get a foot in the door at other media outlets.

Cons

They don't pay all that well and they need to adapt better policies toward freelance writers.
